El imaginario cultural: simbología e iconografía de los espacios sagrados de montaña
Esta percepción se ha ido modulando de generación en generación hasta construir todo un imaginario cultural formado por símbolos e iconografías de variado signo. Entre los constructores o forjadores de ese imaginario tienen un papel fundamental intelectuales y artistas, en tanto receptores e intérpretes de ese paisaje cultural que en la isla se denomina popularmente como “Cumbres de Gran Canaria”.
I've spent a bit of time looking up this term and i'm still not sure whether it is collective/ popular/ cultural .... imaginary/ imagination or something else in English. I would value your input. TIA

Cultural imagery
= simbología e iconografía. QED.
Posting this because I've never been comfortable with the use of "imaginary" as a noun, although (pax Charles and helena) I know it's an established term.

: Even if you don't like "imaginary" as a noun, you have to come up with an equivalent. "Imagery" doesn't cut it: there's quite a chasm between the concepts of "image" and "imagine". Saludos, Neil!
